What makes you think your HTTP client isn't overriding the Content-Type, and how are you checking that? That error message from the server just echoes back the Content-Type it received.

Note that the OAuth endpoints work differently from the other API endpoints, so those aren't a good comparison.

You are using something called "FormRequest", but parameters for API v2 calls such as /files/list_folder and /files/get_metadata shouldn't be form encoded.
